BZZZT!!
As the Great Clan Elder of the Forest Race exerted his will, guided by the sliver of Ancestral Power within him, he seemed to gain the approval of that great door.
The Ancestral Power, it seemed, was the key to opening that door. Only by possessing this heaven-sent power could one break through that boundary and truly reach a state that transcended the mortal life of Earth—the Ancestral Realm, or Saint Realm, becoming a Saint who walked the mortal plane.
'Finally... I'm about to truly touch that power, to become a Saint among mortals. I'll become a pivotal figure in the clan's annals.'
'Most importantly, only power of that level can truly stand against those terrifying existences. It's the only way to have a chance at saving our people, or even the entire world.'
Amid a complex mix of excitement, anticipation, and curiosity, the Great Clan Elder's will seemed to hear a faint sound. As he pushed with all his might, the door finally began to open slowly.
BOOM!!
